I’ve always found werewolves much more exciting than vampires when I was growing up, and now I’ve found a really cool one in miniature to paint from Rusted Heroes…Varu’Lfur ~ The Beast Within. This figure strongly reminds me of the werewolves in Skyrim, so the paint job was based on a cross between the photo above and the game version.

Well, seeing how my Dwarven miniatures have wintry themed bases I decided to paint a Dwarf King for my miniature this month. I modified his weapon to give him a unique look, otherwise he is just as he was. The paint scheme was inspired by the Klingon-like Thorin that will be present in the upcoming Hobbit films, and the snow flock I used on this model is the one I’ve been using from Skullcrafts; it just gives a great realistic effect and I doubt I will try another brand anytime soon.

Here is the miniature I will be painting for this month’s challenge…a Dwarf King with a modified weapon. I used some liquid green stuff to help make the war axe  look like it was one piece. I’m not really sure of a color scheme yet…will have to noodle on that for a bit.

For this month’s challenge I decided to paint a Moria Shaman as opposed to the Orc Shaman. I went with this model not because I have or collect Moria, but because it is a very nice sculpt and will work just fine in my Mordor or Angmar armies as a proxy for an Orc Shaman. With that being said I decided to give the little bugger a different paint scheme than the typical Moria Goblins to fit in better with my Mordor/Angmar units.
